US - Official Report Omaha Beach - D-Day - 101st Airborne - Normandy - St. Maire Eglise - Normandy Campaign - complete with all maps - 1946

This rare 1946 account of the D-Day Omaha beachhead deals with U.S. military operations in Normandy and the landings on the actual beaches. This study rounds out the account of the landings at division level and below, and describes the progress of the units along the beach through June 13, 1944. This fantastic book is THE bible on U.S. and German operations in Normandy and at Omaha Beach! It contains astonishingly detailed maps, photographs, and a huge amount of information. I’ll let the photos do the talking. ALL MAPS ARE PRESENT (included in a separate binder, as they should be). This book is complete but in used condition for its age—see photos. However, copies are usually in much worse condition! A nice example of this rare book.

The book provides a historical narrative of American military operations in France during June 1944, including D-Day in Normandy. It was prepared by the 2d Information and Historical Service, attached to the First Army, and by the Historical Section, European Theater of Operations.

This is truly a great World War II Normandy action report, a first edition (most copies on the market are facsimile reprints), and would be a great addition to your World War II collection!
